Looks similar at first glance but viewed side by side with the previous one it’s actually quite a bit nicer.
The vibrant sunburst blue dial is main thing this new version has going for it. Overall, I like it quite a bit, but I'd say it's only marginally nicer for me.
I'd say looking at them side by side, the biggest improvement was the white outer dial ring - it gave it a much greater sense of depth. The more vibrant blue bezel helps a lot too, and I think the steel pushers and crown give it a more premium feel. I'm still never going to buy a quartz watch but this was the first quartz F1 I appreciated on the wrist, for whatever that's worth
The bezel with smaller numbers and concise markers for speed are a welcomed upgrade. An improvement to the somewhat oversized and cartoonish one on the "old" version I have. Can I update my bezel to this "new" one?

I really like this one. Kind of rescue’s the lack of Watches and Wonders releases that appeal to me personally this year.
I agree with the mighty Ben, the new one is about 120 times better than the previous version. Busy dial aint no issue for me, my thoughts are always super busy and confused, perhaps this is why I like a good busy dial.
